Nedcooked3 created this nice home-made animation for “Taxman”. This is what he says about: “I found this song by the beatles and i decided to make a video about this, it is like an animated music video in a way.”

Rare 1969 demo recording of Paul singing “Goodbye,” which he wrote for Mary Hopkin to sing. Credited to Lennon/McCartney, released on 28 March 1969, it reached Number 2 in the UK Singles Chart. It was kept off the top of the charts by the Beatles’ single “Get Back”. “Goodbye” has never been officially released by the Beatles, although a demo version can be found on some of the Beatles’ bootlegs.

This is a 10-minute version of The White Albums Revolution 1″ leaked onto the internet, giving fans a never-before-heard listen of what the White Album sessions must have been like. The track makes it clear why seemingly unrelated Revolution 1″ and the maniacal Revolution 9″ sound collage share the same name: In Revolution 1 (Take 20) John Lennon steers an extended, more experimental version of 1″ to its breaking point, using it as a conduit before launching into the avant-garde 9.

The Beatles catalog, digitally remastered for the first time, is arriving in stores Sept. 9 amid a joyful noise from fans.

Audiophiles have long lamented the thin, shrill results of the music’s 1987 transfer to CD, flaws magnified by advances in digital technology that enriched the recordings of peers with repeated remastering rounds.

“Even people listening on lower-quality ear buds and MP3s will hear a drastic jump in quality,” says Beatles historian Matt Hurwitz, who heard a sampling of the new tracks. “We’re hearing something a lot closer to the stereo and mono mixes produced in the ’60s. This is the way The Beatles heard it.”

Though frustrating for fans, the wait has heightened drama and value, says Beatles scholar Martin Lewis.

“Fans chomping at the bit felt that Apple was painfully slow responding to demand,” he says. “But at least The Beatles haven’t been overly repackaged like Elvis and The Who.”

The collection includes 14 stereo albums, sold individually or in a box set, each with original U.K. vinyl track listings, artwork and liner notes, plus archival photos and added historical and recording notes. New QuickTime mini-documentaries are included in each CD except Past Masters, which combines the two 1988 single volumes into one set.

“Love of the Loved” is a song written mainly by Paul McCartney, credited to Lennon/McCartney. It is one of his earliest compositions and featured in the Beatles live act in their early days. The group recorded the song at their 1962 audition for Decca Records, but never issued it on any of their official releases. Instead, Cilla Black recorded it for her debut single, which was produced by George Martin. It was not a big hit for her, reaching #35 on the UK Singles Chart.
Oddly, the Beatles audition version was left off Anthology 1, even though the other Lennon/McCartney originals from the same session, “Hello Little Girl” and “Like Dreamers Do”, were included.

“Some Other Guy” is a rock ‘n roll song, written by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller and Richard Barrett. It was first released by Barrett as a single in 1962.
It was recorded by The Beatles during a live BBC radio session and included on the album, Live at the BBC. The song is especially popular in Beatles lore, being featured in the only known existing film with synchronized sound showing the Beatles performing live at the famous Cavern Club. The crude, grainy footage features John Lennon and Paul McCartney singing the song’s melody in unison on Wednesday August 22, 1962. It is also the first film of Ringo Starr as the Beatles drummer; Pete Best was discharged from the band the week prior.

Emad Hamdy plays an acoustic cover of “And I Love Her” arranged for solo guitar.
His official site is www.emadhamdy.net

“When Emad Hamdy plays, the difficulties of the guitar seem to disappear and you are swept away by the poetry, elegance and sensitivity of his interpretations. There is never a moments doubt about Hamdy’s awesome authority whenever he touches a guitar. Hard to believe that there was just one Man and his guitar on stage because Hamdy had the whole orchestra at his fingertips…. (Al Ahram weekly…)”
